I was at the gym with my phone when this trailer was released, and it took me like 5 tries just to get the effin video to work, so when it finally did... Well, there was a combination of hilarity and a twinge of disappointment.

Saints Row really, really annoys me as a franchise. In a time where videogames are trying to compete with the artistic merits of other media and also become more mature you get Volition spewing out more garbage like this. The stories in each game are farcically awful; you can't relate to any of the characters unless you're a sociopath; the humour is very low-brow, not clever and immature; and the driving mechanic is unceremoniously bad (seriously - on Xbox 360 you press A to accelerate? That means you're either always going at full throttle or not going at all. To maintain any sort of constant speed you have to tap A, kangarooing the car about).

Anyways, I already know about SR3, and you can thank my coincidental stop at GameStop for that.I just happen to find out it's on the cover of *insert magazine name here* and was sad to hear there will be no fart bomb in the game :(

Oh yeah, and there's gonna be a Lucha Libre gang in the game too,

Yep, so far, along with Kingdom Hearts 3, this is definitely my most anticipated game for this Decade :D

This would be a completely valid point if every film and book ever made pushed the boundaries of refined, artistic endeavours. But not every film should be Black Swan, not every book should be Blood Meridian and not every game should be trying to be the next Ico or Bioshock.

OT: I get the feeling that this is an April Fool, but I really hope it isn't. Otherwise the guy getting punched in the crotch is every single one of us =[

Because I saw Jackass 3D and was appalled that such garbage existed amongst artistic expression?

OT: I'm sold - I adored Saints Row 2 and didn't need much more of a push for The Third, but this is just too damn good to pass up. xD

I have nothing against realism in video games, but anything gets boring if you never see anything else. Impeccably realistic games are no exception. Variety is needed to keep things fresh. VARIETY!

I like variety. Variety is important to me. When Saints Row 2 first came out, after an endless barrage of ultra-realistic games, I was so desperate for variety that I played nothing but Saints Row 2 for six months!
